Something that seems to be entirely missing from farcaster is the understanding that normal people still hate crypto 

Coinbase is not cool to anyone outside of crypto, they absolutely hate crypto. The number of head nods I get on calls when I describe crypto as something “everyone hates” is hilarious

I hear an aspect of what you’re saying, but it also makes everyone here sound like a victim of something outside their control and that’s why every is working on the equivalent of a toy in a Cracker Jack box

we may not like but incentives control everything 

we both know talented people who could be doing something “better” but if they can make stacks by staying within crypto they will continue to. 

many of them know that’s not good, but they can’t leave either. 

all we can do is control our actions and build positively. 

as much as we want to yap and change the world with it, only apps will change perspective. 

but it can happen, it used to be weird to share personal information online and now it’s standard. 

in 20 years crypto will have better penetration, if we’re good we can accelerate it a bit.

That crypto would stop trying to lead with crypto, put the sausage making back behind the facade, and deliver a solution that actually benefits society Instead of just perpetuating the grift game by adding bells and whistles. Strip it all down and most of it looks a lot like glorified naval gazing, unless the world truly is missing a miniapp that lets you tip someone who bought $fart at the right time but not so right that they got $dick instead and above all else they didn’t go offline during that time.
